Abstract

The existing systems of solid waste management (SWM) in the city of Dar es Salaam suffer from the lack of a good plan and appropriate approach for their sustainability. This empirical study explores the problem of solid waste (SW) in Kinondoni Municipality, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It highlights the impacts of applying economic instruments (EIs) on SWM with much emphasis on the relationship between socio-economic characteristics of the communities and their willingness to use such instruments or pay for the service. The study involved 217 households whereby, questionnaires, key informants’ interview, focus group discussion and observation were used for data collection.
